roll with the punches patron, just don't forget to sell them calls or whatever longs by wednesday cause this market cant get it up for more than 2-3 days in a row...and that PNC thingy is old news but who's next...they let that one slip by, but i'll bet there are at least 5-30 more under the gun trying to "fix" their books now and won't get it done before their hand is called...

For $hits and giggles, here's a chart of the SPX in the period before and after the April 14th, 2000 mini-melt:

...and here's the chart before and after the '87 crash:

...and for even more fun, here's a chart of the XAU on the week of the '87 crash (Warning: Gold Bugs and small children may want to leave the room for this one!)

Notice that the "bottom" was made on the day after the crash (after a gap down and Fed-led rescue via the proto-PPT).
